The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson


The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
Millennium Trilogy, Book 1
Publisher: Vintage (November 2011)
658 pages, eBook (purchased myself in a Trilogy Bundle for $29.99)
Book Rating: 4 Stars
Content Note: Includes Sexual Situations, Sexual Assault, Rape, Violence and Swearing
I thought the beginning and ending, largely dealing with the financial scandal were overly dry, but the middle dealing with the murder mystery was excellent and definitely kept my attention. The two main characters Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander were very intriguing and I liked both of them almost immediately. There exact relationship to each other being an enigma, it was clear that regardless of the lack of definition they did work well together and developed at least a friendship of significant importance to them both. I look forward to moving on to the second book in this series, The Girl Who Played with Fire.
